My brother brought in six cans of sliced beets from his house
that no one will eat. I've opened two cans over the last few weeks
and I can see why. Just so darn bland and I avert my eyes each
time I pass by those four remaining cans.

A bit of searching and digging and I've found a 'recipe' to turn those
bland red slices into 'pickled' beets. They will need to chill at least
four hours before consuming but a quick taste and the liquid does
taste like pickled beet 'broth.'

1 can drained sliced beets

1 small onion sliced

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

3 tablespoons of sugar

3 whole cloves

Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from
the heat. Cool to room temperature then transfer to an airtight
container, seal, and refrigerate at least 4 hours before consuming.

I'll give a report tomorrow on how well these turned out.
